Mate in 2 — Punish the Greed

Objective: White to move. Task goal: deliver checkmate in the fewest possible moves. In this position, it is mate in 2.

Position and task condition

White has just given up the queen and Black happily took it. Materially it looks like a disaster, but the black king is still stuck in the centre and White's pieces are perfectly placed for a short attack. Calculate two moves to the finish.
